Uh 11339 South 700 East. I've got that, Chair. Cool. Uh so for the public, my name's Jake Warner, long-range planning manager for the city. Um we are presenting an application uh received from Winslow Burton on behalf of Empowering You for a rezone at 11339 South 700 East. Uh there is an existing building there. Um it is currently in the CVC zone, which is the convenience commercial zone. The application is requesting that the property be rezoned to the PO zone. Um the uh property to the south is also zoned CVC. The surrounding the rest of the surrounding property is residential. Uh the applicant would like to lease a portion of the building for an adult daycare program. Uh, that use is not allowed in the CVC zone but would be allowed in the PO zone. So this is a legislative item. It's being presented to the planning commission for recommendation to the city council. The city council would be the final decision maker. Uh, with that, staff is available for questions, and the uh applicant has a presentation as well. Okay, very good. Um questions for staff. I don't see any.
